| 0:45.6 | Okay, similar start to last week's pod. |
| 0:48.6 | What's the most number of tries you guys have scored in a single season? |
| 0:52.7 | Ashi. |
| 0:53.1 | Actually a lot, surely. Gotta be. Oh, that France, that France season. Is it all right that I'm a bit annoyed about this? About what? Life or being on this podcast still? That's normal. It's a normal one there. You're annoyed about it. I'm a bit annoyed. I'm a bit annoyed the amount of tries that's been scored. I think it's ridiculous. Oh, they don't have the same value they once did. No. Okay. And we're gonna get, I'm sure we're talking about it. I am with him on that. But there will be players who played 20 years before you who'd feel the same about when you played. No. No? I'll have a reason for that in a minute. Okay. Well, I think it was 16, 17-ish. But that top 14 season, I know there are more matches. What was that? That was 20 plus, wasn't it? |
| 1:31.2 | Yeah. Well, I think it was 16, 17-ish. But that top 14 season, I know there were more matches. |
| 1:28.6 | What was that? That was 20 plus, wasn't it? Yeah. Yeah, 23. But is there an asterisk on that? Because Teves just said their second team to their home to their way games. And you're... So you're just playing against 12-year-old-olds. And you'd red Raja and two are sober in the centres. We're talking about... |
| 1:43.8 | Because people might say that that's easy. |
| 1:46.3 | I'm talking about 10 million points squads here. Yeah, but they don't send them to the second two games. There's no kids. The way games. The second choice prop might be some of 30 cap international. It might be 35. All right. But you know happens in the top 14? The away games, the teams just get battered. So maybe people could asterisk that. Yeah. Either way, I asked because Noah Kallori's gone to 18. Yeah. In nine games. That's mad. So he's played it. There's not been nine games in the season. He's only played nine. He just scored 10 in two against. So he's 18, the record of Sam Simmons, who got 20. I think it was 21. Was it 21? In 2021. And who was second behind him that season? That's got to be me. So my only chance of only winning the pro. I think I'm maybe 13, was it? |
| 2:34.5 | Or 12. |
| 2:35.0 | According to Wikipedia. |
| 2:35.8 | See, yeah, I was quite happy that yet. |
| 2:37.9 | Twelve on the title. |
| 2:38.7 | I'd take that over 20 and no title. |
| 2:40.4 | Sorry, Sam. |
| 2:41.7 | Right. |
| 2:42.4 | Loads to get into, as ever, with Chris Ashton, |
